Anyone know a place in Northern Virginia or Richmond where I could get a good brake job? Brakes are starting to squeak and probably have to top off the brake fluid. Gotten a couple of estimates and they came out to be like $250-300 which sounds kind of ridiculous. Let me know. THanks

 

do it yourself. the fronts are esp easy. dunno about the rear, that's what i'm doing next. maybe someone can help me out.


i did the fronts, is the rear as easy as the fronts..??

 

Brakes are pretty easy to do. Just take out one bolt and flip up the caliper, take out the old, compress the piston, slap the new ones in...and your done. Thats for the front.....the back is just as easy, but you have to take out 2 bolts I believe and list out the middle section of the caliper....

 

no,.. the backs are just as easy, and basicaly the same process as the fronts. The only thing that complicates the job is if you want to turn the rotors, which you may or may not need to do. It all depends on what they look like when you change the brakes. And even if you go into the job all the way and take off the rotors,.. it really isn't that hard. In fact it's kinda fun.
